During Your Physiology Class in Which You Test Somatic Reflexes

question 2

Multiple Choice

During your physiology class in which you test somatic reflexes on your classmates you notice that one of the students has exceptionally strong "jerk" reflexes. Is that a good or a bad sign?

• A) It is good, the stronger the spinal reflexes the faster the response.
• B) It is good since strong reflexes indicate faster conduction velocity in the nerves.
• C) It can be bad as spinal reflexes get stronger when upper motor neurons are damaged.
• D) It's definitely bad, it indicates a damage to receptor arm of the reflex.

Definitions:

Tertiary Bronchi

The third level of branching airways in the lungs, conducting air to specific lung segments.

Primary Bronchi

The two main divisions of the trachea that lead directly into the lungs, facilitating the flow of air.

Secondary Bronchi

The branches of the primary bronchi that lead into each lobe of the lungs, facilitating the transport of air.

Windpipe

Commonly known as the trachea, it's the tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi, providing air passage to the lungs.
